Default Engine Stabilizer bracket question.

Has anyone ever had a problem removing the right bolt on the engine stabilizer bracket. It seems like my down tube is in the way from getting it all the way out.
Thanks

I used a jack to lift/move the engine just enough to clear the bolt. Be careful when installing the bolts back not to cross-thread. Using a jack to line up the bolts helps. Having an extra person to push on the motor helps even further.
